Protesting Big Oil must not become a crime.

At any moment, the Texas House of Representatives could vote on House Bill 3557, which would slash the 1st Amendment rights of Texans and organizations associated with Texans arrested for protesting ‘critical infrastructure’ sites.

Call your Texas legislator! Urge them to protect the 1st Amendment and vote NO on HB3557!

If approved, HB3557 will cripple our constitutional right to protest and our ability to protect our communities from dangerous profit-driven projects. Pushed by Big Oil, the bill originates with the ultra-right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). It turns peaceful protest into felonies punishable by upwards of 20 years in prison with $10,000+ fines for individuals, and liabilities for organizations associated with protestors of up to a million dollars!

HB3557 is a danger to our democracy. Call your Texas State Representatives to vote NO!
